WHAT DO YOU “KNOW” ABOUT THE PRISON AT GUANTANOMO BAY?
Just what you’ve seen, heard, and read in the major media, right? You’ve been mislead…..even shown prisoners occupying facilities that haven’t been in use for years.
RICH LOWRY has been down there, walked around, talked with guards, observed interrogation, eaten the food, etc.
At Gitmo, the detainees sit in plush La-Z Boy chairs when they are being interrogated and are offered drinks and the chance to see movies on DVD by their interrogators, who struggle to establish a rapport with them. Sometimes it works. We were told that about 15% of the detainees cooperate with the interrogations….Overall, if every American could visit Gitmo, I’m guessing about 85% of them would think we’re doing a great job in difficult circumstances. In this war, we are faced with a sliver of people who are incorrigible fanatics who will never give up their diseased ideology, and those are the kind of people in Gitmo. If they are given an inch, they will use it to try to harm, or better yet, kill any American at hand….The guards down there have my deepest admiration. They work by an ethic of restraint, no matter what the provocation, knowing that their slightest mis-step can and will be used against us in the propaganda war. They work 12-hour shifts in the most depressing circumstances imaginable. The detainees routinely throw feces, urine, and other bodily fluids on them. When that happens, they are offered the day off. But we were told that they almost never take it, returning right back to be with their comrades. Every American should be grateful for what they do.
READ HIS ARTICLE about his experience. Remember, this is an eyewitness account, unlike most of what you get in the popular media.
